Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 21

Episode 21

“Who is criticizing me?”

“yes?”

When Dio, who was sitting in a rest area where a crackling bonfire was burning, spoke while picking his ears, Sepia just made an incomprehensible expression.

“Nothing. How do you feel?”

Dio, who was chopping firewood with a great sword and making a bonfire, sat down in front of Sepia and opened his mouth.

Even if Sepia escaped the curse, it was difficult to use her weakened body right away.

So they took frequent breaks, and as a result, their movement speed was slow.

“I’m OK.”

Sitting by a warm fire would have made me feel at ease.

Nevertheless, Sephia, who still felt anxious, gave a short answer and could only stare at the flickering lights.

Cracking crackling –

only the sound of a burning bonfire lingered around me, and there was silence for a while.

Dio tried to leave Sepia alone, but surprisingly, she opened her mouth first.

“Dio… what exactly do you do?”

“I told you. “A wandering mercenary.”

Dio was internally taken aback by Sephia’s question, which he did not expect to break the silence first.

However, he tried to hide his expression and brought up the mercenary story he had mentioned earlier.

‘Since he hasn’t become strong to the A-level level yet, there’s no need to bring up the story about Monte, the A-level mercenary.’

While Dio was thinking about what happened in Evra Village, Sepia continued to ask questions.

“How can a mercenary dispel a warlock’s spell? The same goes for the subspace pocket… Are you a wizard?”

The question is sharp.

‘From Sepia’s point of view, she might be curious about my identity, which is not clear.’

But I also thought about the answer to this.

“I am not a wizard, but there is a famous mercenary among wizards.”

“I don’t think the ‘Haeju Magic’ that saved me was just magic…”

Despite Dio’s response, which tried to ignore him, Sepia did not give up and began to persist persistently.

“How can an individual have such power?”

“If you are a mercenary who uses high-level magic that can override a curse, I would have heard of you.”

“I’m not particularly skilled in magic, but I do know that not everyone can easily make the ‘oath’ that can lift the curse of warlocks.”

A continuing sepia barrage of questions.

Dio looked embarrassed at this.

As Sepia said, the ‘oath’ is not a power made up of simple magic.

A similar example is the oath made to the Imperial Emperor and his knights under the name ‘Gears’.

‘Do you think the oath is an incredible magic worthy of Geass level?’

After much deliberation, the answer Dio chose was….

“I don’t know either.”

“….”

Sephia narrowed her eyes and began to look at Dio, and a system message appeared informing her that something had gone wrong.

[Sepia’s reliability has decreased by 1.]

‘Oops!’

Dio, who realized that just saying he didn’t know wasn’t enough, hurriedly opened his mouth.

“No, it may be ugly, but I really don’t know. To put it bluntly, the power of this covenant was found in a place called the ‘forgotten temple.’”

“….”

Sephia’s gaze still did not change despite Dio’s hastily added words.

Still, did trying to make an effort work?

Even if the lost trust was not restored, it was not lowered further.

‘Damn…building trust is quite tricky.’

There was no mention of restrictions on issuing orders even if reliability was low.

However, if you think a little bit about why the system called reliability exists.

It can be seen that there is a need to manage this.

‘I thought it was just a humane system.’

It was not a system created simply to test moral character.

It is easy to lower trust and difficult to increase it.

It was obvious that if it were an order board, penalties and compensation for this would have been clearly determined.

And the way to check this is simple.

‘Either set the reliability to 0 or increase it to the maximum reliability set by the system.’

However, no matter what the compensation for this is, it is not very pleasing to D.O. to be driven by reliability.

This is because your growth rate may slow down.

Of course, it is obvious that a penalty will be given if it goes down to 0.

In such a situation, minimal management was necessary, so Dio hurriedly opened his mouth.

“How about you? “How did you get caught?”

D.O. chose to change the topic of conversation, fearing that Sepia’s endless questions would erode his credibility.

“….”

At this, Sephia hesitated, and Dio was puzzled by her reaction.

‘Why are you in trouble? ‘I don’t know any information about sepia, so I’m curious… is there something there?’

When Dio made a curious expression, Sephia opened her mouth, pouting her lips.

“…Is that an order?”

“Oh no. “If it’s difficult to talk, you don’t have to answer.”

Dio quickly waved his hand as he was put in a situation where his trust was once again undermined by a thoughtless question.

“Foot.”

A smile appeared on Sepia’s face, as if the sight of Dio waving his hands in a hurry was quite comical.

Although he was a suspicious person, one thing was certain.

Regardless of whether you can trust them or not, the other person is trying to accommodate your feelings.

‘Maybe he’s more considerate than I thought… he’s cute.’

Sepia’s beauty shined dazzlingly with a sincere smile that had never been shown before.

Even though she simply washed her face by the stream, her skin was flawless and clean.

Countless men across the continent will fall in love with her laughter.

But unfortunately, this did not apply to the man in front of me.

This was because he was a being from a different dimension than this continent.

[Sepia’s trust has increased by 1.]

‘Oh.’

Dio’s eyes became animated as he simply reacted to the system’s increased reliability.

‘Why did trust rise? I like it anyway.’

Dio stared at Sepia intently, wondering if something might happen due to the change in trust.

Sephia, who felt burdened by his gaze, blushed at the tips of her ears and cleared her throat, probably realizing the smile she had made without realizing it.

“There’s no need to hide anything from the person who saved me. In fact…”

The low figure of 1 only rose.

However, is it affected by the increase in trust by 1?

Sepia’s expression revealed a firm determination.

Just as her mouth was about to connect….

Swish!

“Ouch!”

Dio pulled Sephia’s hand, and Sepia’s fragile body was pulled into his arms.

Dio, who had a firm grip on Sepia, lightly kicked the floor and stepped back while protecting her body with his huge sword.

“What is this? omg!?”

Sephia shouted, embarrassed by Dio’s sudden behavior.

However, he soon trembled as he saw the tree stump he had been sitting on rotten and crumbling.

That ominous energy.

I hear a voice like a nightmare that I never want to remember again.

“It looks like something is going on.”

A group of warlocks wearing black robes.

Among them, a particularly tall-looking warlock steps forward.

“Victor.”

“…aha.”

Viktor showed an expression of anticipation at Dio’s words, who knew his name.

“Did you recognize the mark?…”

Warlocks would leave their own marks to show off their skills.

Victor thought that Dio recognized his mark.

Of course, Dio knew that Viktor would appear without even needing to recognize the mark.

“I never would have thought that someone who looks like a noble person would touch my things even after knowing me… I admire that foolishness.”

At Viktor’s words, the group of warlocks accompanying him began to giggle.

“you’re welcome. “Here’s a gift.”

Dio pushed the trembling Sephia back and threw a piece of firewood at Viktor.

“….”

As the firewood, which showed no intention of attacking, advanced in a parabolic curve, one of the warlocks next to Viktor accurately caught it.

“Give it to me.”

Viktor offered his hand to the warlock who was looking at the huge pile of firewood.

And the moment I was about to take firewood from him.

[Popular]

Kwagwagwagwang!

As soon as Dio’s skill was activated, a huge explosion erupted from the piece of wood.

“Kaaaaaaak!”

The screams of the warlock, whose entire arm had been blown off, echoed.

The damage is this much just from the aftermath of the explosion.

However, through the thick dust, Viktor only smiled bitterly despite being completely hit by Dio’s skill.

‘He prepared in advance. It’s a shame.’

Forgotten swordsmanship is a melee-specific skill.

However, through much experimentation and experience, D.O. found a way to use it remotely at any time.

It’s like five marks were carved into the firewood that was just thrown out.

Of course, I didn’t think that even with the power of five overlapping marks, it would be easy to catch Viktor.

‘It would be surprising if a 3rd circle warlock was defeated by a level 80 player’s skill.’

Warlocks grow by offering sacrifices to the demon god, and grow exponentially as the hierarchy of the circle increases.

But it’s okay.

The current Viktor is not the level 150 person who sacrificed Sephia and awakened to the 5th circle.

Circle 3 Victor is at level 80, similar to Dio.

At the same level, Dio, who is a solid player, is more than capable of overpowering Viktor.

Pot!

In a battlefield filled with smoke due to the width of the battlefield.

Dio immediately kicked the ground.

“It moved!”

“It doesn’t look right!”

In order to use magic, you need to see the target with your own eyes.

Dio knew this.

‘Block the view first.’

From the beginning, the goal was to block the view through chain explosions rather than the power of the bomb.

“Just shoot in front!”

“Secure the field of vision first!”

The warlocks were floundering and unable to respond properly as Dio intended.

Suddenly!

Dio’s great sword cleanly cut off the head of the warlock, who was crying as his arm flew off.

[3113 experience points have been obtained.]

‘Has Viktor already been taken out?’

Dio’s eyes quickly scanned the soot of the battlefield as he approached the enemies.

‘Rather, it went well. Let’s take care of the little things first.’

Whirik –

Dio used his rotational power to raise his greatsword high and slash it towards the next target.

“Stop it!”

“shield!”

The warlock, preparing for the attack, urgently shouted a spell.

however.

Kagagak-!

Clink!

Dio’s great sword shattered the shield in one fell swoop.

As a result, the warlock suffered mana reflux and vomited blood.

“Cough! “Wow!”

‘Now five.’

Damn it!

Dio cut off the head of the warlock who was vomiting blood right next to him again and lowered his posture.

The battle unfolded suddenly, clearly starting with a surprise attack.

Nevertheless, Dio’s reaction to this was natural, as if he knew they would come.

‘No matter how many times I tried to save Sepia, a prediction like this is a piece of cake.’

Even though he knew of the chase, Dio did not quickly leave the Tyr Mountains with Sepia.

Rather, they slowed down even more and left traces that were easy for the warlocks to trace.

I also didn’t forget to store skill marks in advance on the firewood used for the bonfire.

because?

Because he was planning to punish Viktor, who would show up in person anyway.
